Just Friends | A Joe Jonas Fanfiction

Chapter 18

It was getting pretty late and they decided it's time to get back home. Of course, Joe tried to get Ann to stay. Although all she was thinking about was finishing what they started, she knew she couldn't. Sophie and Jazz said their goodbyes with Joe and wished him good luck on the tour.

„And I'll see you tomorrow." He smiled at Ann and hugged her. She felt her body warm up at his touch.

„Yes you will, sir." She rubbed his back. She smiled at him and he escorted them to the exit.

Travis was already waiting for them. Sophie and Jazz waved at Joe one more time, before slipping into the car. Ann turned around to him as he was leaning against the doorframe.

„I already miss you." He said with his smirk.

„Thank you again, Joe. For this." She gave him a warm smile. „It means a lot that you care so much about my mom."

„How couldn't I? She's a cutie patootie."

„Yeah, she is." She looked back at her in the car.

„Call me when you get home, okay?" He said placing a hand on her cheek. She could feel herself blush under his touch.

„Okay." He winked at her, before disappearing behind the big wooden doors.

The ride home was silent, the tiredness hitting all of them. She had no idea what time it was, but she felt as though this day lasted forever. She couldn't wait to jump in her bed.

As soon as they entered the apartment, they took off their shoes and said their goodnights. Ann walked into her bedroom and took of her dress. She quickly put on an oversized shirt and got into bed. She didn't even bother to wash off her makeup. She was so tired that she fell asleep in a heartbeat.

Her phone vibration woke her up. She frowned and squinted her eyes as the phone brightness hit her eyes. It was a FaceTime from Joe. She sighed and turned on her bedside lamp, before answering.

„Thanks for letting me know you're home." He said a little frustrated.

„Mhm." She murmured into her pillow. She answered the call, but her eyes were still closed.

„Are you still sleeping?" He chuckled, instantly changing his voice tone.

„Mhm." She murmured again.

„Cute."

She opened her eyes slightly to look at him. He was laying in his bed shirtless watching her with an amused face.

„Take a picture it will last longer." She said, mimicking their talking when they met.

„Oh, don't mind if I do." He shifted in his place and she heard a click on his phone.

„Did you just take a screenshot?" She frowned at him.

„Maybe." She chuckled at him and sat up on her bed, rubbing her eyes. „Hey, about what happened earlier..."

„Yeah?" She knew exactly what he was talking about. It was all she was thinking.

"I'm sorry, if I was too..." he rubbed the back of his neck, searching for the right word.

"You weren't." She smiled at him.

"I just... I never asked for your consent and I feel like an asshole."

"Are you serious? How long have you known me? I would kick you in your balls if I didn't want it." She raised an eyebrow at him.

"True." He chuckled, brushing his hair nervously. "So you wanted it?"

"Hell yeah I wanted it, Joe." She said in a more serious tone. "Am I not giving you enough signals?"

"What are you trying to say?" He frowned at fixed himself on bed, interested in what she was saying. She sighed and shook her head.
